Cruelty at the Calgary Stampede
Canada’s largest rodeo, the Calgary Stampede, is making a full return for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
Animals will be subjected to inhumane bucking, wrestling and roping events. This year will mark the first time the chuckwagon races are being held since 2019, when 6 horses died. To date, more than 100 animals have died at the Calgary Stampede.
